DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL -REQUEST The Applicant is requesting an Amended Final Plat for Lots 4 and 13 to correct inconsistencies between the surveyed property line and existing improvements associated with fences and driveway locations. The improvements have been in place for many years and both lot owners desire to correct the lot line. The Applicant represents that the reason for the encroachments is that the property was originally "pinned" in error by a surveyor. The adjustment will result in each owner's fences and driveway improvements being located entirely on their own lot. The existing and proposed lots sizes are all slightly larger than % acre consistent with the original platting for the subdivision. Lot 13 was originally platted at 0.25 acres and will increase slightly to 11,446 sq. ft. or 0.262 acres. Lot 4 was subject to a previous amended plat and will decrease from its amended size of 12,019 sq.ft. by approximately 363 sq.ft. to .. become 11 ,656 sq.ft. or 0 .267 acres. Lot 4 was originally platted at 0.26 acres. No changes to the existing access, utilities, or drainage are proposed by the amended plat and no nonconforming conditions will result from the lot line adjustment. The Ranch at Roaring Fork Homeowners Association has provided a letter indicating support for the request along with minutes from their meeting discussing the proposal. The Applicant requested a waiver from the submittal requirements for an Improvements Agreement. The request was determined appropriate for the Application as no new improvements are proposed or required. II.
